When residents move out of Hampton Roads, where do they go? Where did new residents of Hampton Roads move from? This information is compiled by the US Census Bureau as “migration flow” data. The migration flows are estimated between metro areas and between individual counties. The estimates are captured for a five-year rolling period and updated with each release of the American Community Survey (ACS) data.

The HRTPO is updating the Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) to the horizon year 2050. This plan will address future transportation needs for the region. As part of the development of the 2050 LRTP, HRTPO staff developed a MetroQuest public survey to help identify regional priorities and important transportation issues. This survey was made available online between October 1, 2022 and November 1, 2022, through various outreach methods, including HRTPO websites, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and locality websites.

Did you know that beautiful places are not only environmentally healthy, but they also contribute to your community’s economy and make it a better place to raise families, start a business and go to school? These are great reasons to plan now to participate in this year’s Great American Cleanup, March 24-25. You can rally your neighbors and plan your own cleanup and beautification project, or you can join a cleanup already on the schedule.
